Ok I have windows xp proffessional on my comp right now, but is is not a valid copy meaning someone burned it and gave it to me. I have Home edition with service pack 2, a valid copy how do I uninstall proffessional and install home edition without losong everything. It wont work by just putting in the home edition cd and installing it cuz they are 2 different versions of windows. I want to do this bc the other day I went to d-load msn messenger love and it overwrighted my old messenger and the new one wont work bc I need and update for windows which I cant get b/c it isnt a valid copy on my com. |

try using norton ghost or somethign and burning an image of yoru hard drive and then use that with your new install....ive never had to go from professional to home so im not sure how that would work though....just an idea |

The only two ways that me and my cousin could think of is to do an upgrade of your windows xp but the to be safe me and him agree that you should reformat befor installing it |
